To avoid confusion the Downeast Rail Heritage Preservation Trust would like to be sure that those interested know that we are still in discussions with MaineDOT to operate excursion service in the Brewer to Washington Junction segment of the corridor.
This represents Phase I of our plans and we continue to move forward with our work.
